Avatar might be forgettable now, but at the time it was revolutionary in advancing the tech of movies. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 11:21 18
- It is a sequel to the franchise that began the trend you speak of. -- nm - Spawn Nov 9, 11:34 1
  - I really wish we could go back to HSX's boards in April 1999. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 11:47
- I can't walk 3 blocks without seeing something Star Wars related..... - groiny Nov 9, 11:26 13
  - You should change your walking patterns, because that's billboard Hell. -- nm - David Nov 9, 11:32 1
    - it is not even billboards, it is merchandise everywhere. -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 11:33
  - You couldn't in 1999 either. It didn't even break the opening weekend record in a favorable calendar frame. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 11:27 10
    - that was a completely different animal. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 11:28 9
      - It really wasn't. If anything, we're seeing less absurdity. No one's camping out yet. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 11:29 8
        
        no, now we have advanced ticket sales, which are off the charts. - groiny Nov 9, 11:32 7
        
        right, no need to camp out. You buy your tickets,.with reserved seating, and just show up. -- nm - Andie Nov 9, 11:37 6
        
        Reserved seating would be so excellent. -- nm - Shaun Nov 9, 11:48 5
        
        you don't have any with reserved seats? No AVX? -- nm - Andie Nov 9, 11:48 4
        
        We only got it a few months ago. I can't go back now that I can have it. -- nm - David Nov 9, 11:52

        Mostly all of the projectors are digital now, iirc, but there's nothing new and shiny aside from that. -- nm - Shaun Nov 9, 12:05
        
        ahhh -- nm - Andie Nov 9, 12:02
- It's the first SW movie in 30 years with the original trilogy characters and storylines, that's a trial game changer -- nm - jangles Nov 9, 11:23
- I thought it was forgettable then, too. Fern Gully in space. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 11:21
